This morning, near Dorchester, ON

Photo taken near my place this past Sunday

This afternoon, I took a short walk down the road in front of my house.  Here are a few photos from this sunny, warm Fall day near Dorchester:

Let’s see…it’s been more than two months since I last posted!  Here’s a very brief photographic overview of that time:

In July-August my Mom, brother and I spent a month in Waskaganish:

Then, in August, my Uncle came to Lake McDonald and we insulated and re-sided the house:

In early September, I purchased a new-to-me 1994 Nissan pickup:

We packed/sold/gave-away/threw-out practically everything in the house in Cochrane:

I loaded my truck and moved to southern Ontario to serve as coordinator of a mentoring-in-mission program with a mission agency:

Mid-Sept, Alisa drove up to visit me for several days and to see the area around here where we plan to live after we’re married:

On Thursday, I arrived back after almost three weeks on a recruitment trip with the mission.  We visited individuals and colleges in B.C, AB, and SK.

This Thanksgiving weekend I’m getting settled into the house near Dorchester (near London, ON) where I’m renting a room.  It’s only about 7 minutes from the office, in beautiful farmland.

I’ll try to keep this blog more updated in the coming days.

Yes, winter’s grip had started to loosen while we were in Quebec last week!  Consequently, water was running pretty much everywhere, as evidenced by these photos.  This all must mean spring is finally nigh!

Mom and I spent last week at home in rural Quebec.  One spring tradition is making maple syrup.  We were privileged to visit one sugar camp to see their high-tech process involving reverse-osmosis and old fashioned boiling in very modern equipment:

Here is a photo of the driveway, taken earlier this afternoon.

…no, really!

A couple of days ago we went to visit a friend in Timmins.  Before we left, we took these photos of some of his Egyptian Arabian horses.
